This new infrared view of the star forming region the Lagoon Nebula (M8) was captured by the VISTA telescope at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile. This color picture was created from images taken through J, H, and Ks near-infrared filters, which were acquired as part of a huge survey of the central parts of the Milky Way. The field of view is about 34 by 15 arcminutes. ESO/VVV
